APPARATUS FOR BENDING AND EXPANDING HAIRPINS OF HAIRPIN MOTOR OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18195110 titled 'APPARATUS FOR BENDING AND EXPANDING HAIRPINS OF HAIRPIN MOTOR OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an apparatus for bending and expanding hairpins of a hairpin motor. The apparatus includes a holder on which a stator of the hairpin motor coupled to the hairpins is mounted, and a driving unit that performs the bending and expanding operations.

  • The apparatus includes a holder for the stator and hairpins of a hairpin motor.
  • A driving unit is provided to perform the bending and expanding operations.
  • The driving unit includes a jig that fixes the hairpins in place.
  • A first actuator connected to the jig is used to rotate the jig, bending the hairpins.
  • A second actuator connected to the jig is used to move the jig, expanding the hairpins outwardly from the center of the stator.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Manufacturing of hairpin motors for various industries such as automotive, aerospace, and robotics.
  • Hairpin motors are commonly used in electric vehicles, HVAC systems, and industrial machinery.
  • The apparatus can be used in mass production settings to efficiently bend and expand hairpins.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Hairpin motors require precise bending and expanding of hairpins for optimal performance.
  • Manual bending and expanding processes are time-consuming and prone to human error.
  • The apparatus automates the bending and expanding operations, ensuring consistency and accuracy.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased efficiency and productivity in the manufacturing process of hairpin motors.
  • Improved quality and reliability of hairpin motors due to precise bending and expanding.
  • Reduction in labor costs and potential errors associated with manual operations.


Original Abstract Submitted

An apparatus for bending and expanding hairpins of a hairpin motor includes a holder on which a stator of the hairpin motor coupled to the hairpins is mounted, and a driving unit including a jig that fixes the hairpins, a first actuator connected to the jig to rotate the jig so that the plurality of hairpins is bent, and a second actuator connected to the jig and configured to move the jig in a state in which the hairpins are fixed by the jig so that the hairpins are expanded outwardly from a center of the stator.
